Use 4EXT and you always wipe Dalvik …. especially when going to different platforms. The leak was different then the new one. So many of the mods and things will make your phone slower and or brick it. You install the rom under 3EXT which is in the 4EXT app

Thats the way to go Santod is a extremely talented DEV. He has 4 versions of this OTA plus about 8 others that he made off of others and all of them are crazy good. http://www.infected.com . I am running the Deodexed Debloated Version atm

Try doing a hard reset. Mine is really fast. As far as battery goes it is alot better but if you want to be able to do anything you want all day or most of the day I would go to ebay and buy a rezound battery like I did for $10 and you will have way more battery life. Fits perfect no need to change the back just enjoy playing on it all day. I mess with my phone mild/heavy with this battery and ICS from 6am to 7pm I will still have 70%+ most I have got was 20 something

It’s not people changing their phones it’s people that don’t know what they are doing thinking they can flash roms like other people can when it is not for armatures. You have to know what you are doing or you will brick your phone. Leaving it stock is just boring IMO. But I am a Tech person. Plus the fact that I can tether for free instead of paying 30 extra a month for something that I have unlimited on anyways. Plus all the free apps and customization you get

The ICS update in general speed the HTC thunderbolt up. If you are lagging you might want to see how much space is on your phone storage. Most apps can be moved to SD card to save on storage. I am running the Deodexed Debloated Version and it’s faster than ever. Even before I installed the rom in this thread I had the factory OTA ICS Update and my phone still had no lag. If you really want to get the most out of your thunderbolt check out http://www.infected.com

I use my sim card in my mi-fi to excess the internet. Grandfathered. Mine working just fine without the update to screw me up.

It’s just their way of getting the Thunderbolts off the market and killing off some grandfathered accounts. Do not undate!!!

When I installed the update I had the same problems as before. I then did a hard reset, only installed the apps I use, and run a catche cleaner regularly now. It runs better than before, has better battery life, and no bugs. The texting isn’t as smooth with pictures and media, but I’ll take the trade off .

I’m still angry about this update to ics ruining my phone but now I’m also confused since many are reporting positive experiences. My Thunderbolt was rock solid except the proximity sensor never worked) until this update. now it’s garbage. It is painfully slow. The internet locks up constantly with the stock browser and Chrome. When I double-tap the screen to zoom it usually selects something on the page and redirects me as if I clicked on a link. I just loaded Dolphin which seems just a little better. I understand ics doesn’t support flash, but I can’t even play videos I’ve recorded with my phone. When it does let me access a video on the browser it won’t stop the video for an incoming call. It has started wiping out appointments from my calendar. Text messages people send to me aren’t coming through half the time. I’m getting the same backup media failed message someone else described. I’m dialing phone numbers, hitting send, and holding the phone to my ear waiting on the call to go through only to find I’m back on the home screen. I’ve resisted iPhone because I don’t listen to music on my phone. My wife and children love their iPhones but were envious of the download speeds on the Thunderbolt. I guess my next move is to root my phone and try to find a copy of gingerbread. Hopefully I can resist throwing it through a wall in the meantime. Surely I’m not the only one having this many problems

My phone has lost ALL of its speed with this update. It’s like putting Windows 7 on an old Windows 2000 machine with low memory. The phone struggles to change from program to program, taking a picture takes forever! Can we undo this update?
